“What foods should I eat?”

"What is the best diet for endurance athletes?"

It’s a question I hear often. Sometimes in desperation.

Not because of the easy choices, but because of the not-so-obvious ones that cause confusion.

Foods that have been demonized then celebrated. Or celebrated then demonized. Or that come in so many forms it feels impossible to know the best choice.

Over and over, I'm asked:

Are potatoes good or bad?

What about eggs?

Can I eat pasta?

Is cheese okay?

Do I have to live without bacon? I just can't do that!

To add to the confusion, it’s not always obvious how to classify a food. Is it mostly protein? A carbohydrate? A fat? Many people know to eat a mix of these macronutrients, yet aren’t sure how that looks in “real food”. The result: more questions.

That’s why I love this handy, visual food guide Precision Nutrition Created. I can give it to you because I am a certified Precision Nutrition Master Nutrition and Health Coach.

This guide is designed to help you make healthier choices, no matter your knowledge of nutrition. I give it to every client because diets are not sustainable but healthy nutrition choices and habits are for performance, health and your ideal body composition.

But don’t expect a list of “approved” and “off-limits” foods. Instead, we like to think of foods on a spectrum from “eat more” to “eat some” to “eat less”.

This approach promotes one of the most crucial philosophies that runs through my coaching method: Progress, not perfection.

Use these continuums to make choices that are “just a little bit better,” whether you’re eating at home, dining out with friends, or dealing with banquet buffets on a work trip.

Plus, learn how to:

Incorporate a mix of proteins, vegetables, carbohydrates, and fat.

Strategically improve your food choices—based on where you are right now—to feel, move, and look better.

Customize your intake for your individual lifestyle and (of course) taste buds. Let it help you base food choices on your goals. That can be you generally want to improve your health, you want to look, feel and perform better. Or it could be you are training for an event like a half-marathon, Ironman or ultra marathon.

This guide can help. Talk a look, let me know what you think.
